The Hover may not be my Baddest Robot... But it's the one I enjoy playing with the most!
Its mobility and ability to get to advantageous firing positions is a awesome!
"Flying" takes skill, but once mastered, you can't wait to pilot it again!
I run a Hover with Shocktrains and Aphids. Highly recommended!
Thumbs up on this build!

The best set up for Hover is one which can take advantage of its mobility and the unique firing positions it can obtain.
Select weapons systems which run at the 500m range for best results in. (Scourge, Shocktrains).
If those are not available to you yet, I would suggest running Orkans and using the Hover as a beacon grabber. It can usually match a Kumiho to a beacon but it will have greater firepower due to the addition of the light slot.
Try both an Orkan and Taran setup. At the end of the day, you'll use what's funnest to play with.
Cheers and see you on the battlefield.

Thanks guys. Having fun playing this game. I've also met some pretty cool folks in our clan.
I'd like to send a shout out to my boys 69 Chevelle, Businessman, DayDay and our clan leader Chief!

Leaving and Tanking: No real solution here. Folks are going to do what they want to do but there should be a way of removing gifts from them. Once a system is in place to DEFINE and IDENTIFY "Tanking" and "Seal Clubing", those suspected of it should receive no supply drops, no gold, no keys, no free chests and be placed in low game priority. Will this stop them... no, but at least they will not be receiving any additional benefits enjoyed by honest players.

Workshop 2.0: This has to come online and allow players to build components for items they desire. Currently, the ONLY way to get components is to receive them from chests, supply Drops, use work shop points to buy them (VERY limiting) or pay a ridiculous amount of real money for them. $300 US for a bot? 1.5 years to acquire enough components? Workshop 2.0 is important to build up to New levels of equipment and gameplay.

Modes: Modes should be separated but I do understand how this would cause long wait times for certain modes. A good compromise would be to split the modes as follows.... Domination with Beacon Rush and Team Death match with King of the Hill.

I've been playing WR since August 2017 and deeply enjoy the game. The level of competition IS set by player. Play for free and enjoy the game at lower leagues or invest with money for premium equipment to compete at higher leagues. Whichever you choose, just remember to have fun... It's just a game. ;-)

These are solely my opinion and not intended to upset anyone.

Supply Drops: This was done RIGHT by Pixonic. There should be a small gift for just loging in and playing a bit. I do agree that the FANS should have a voice in what components are available in Supply Drops but having premium bots every month is unreasonable. Maybe a month long drop of a weapon and every now and then a week long drop of premium bot components.

Nerfing: Nerfing should happen in the development stage of weapon or bot and NEVER once it has gone LIVE. This is what the test sever is for. Developers should take stock in what Test Server Youtubers say about their weapon or bot while in development. Once a weapon system or bot is placed on the Live Server it should have undergone all the tweeks and nerfing required. Nerfing something once it comes out undermines those who have saved components or spent money on that item. You don't buy a car with 400 horse power to have the dealership do a recall to reduce power 10%. Nerfing after a product comes out shows poor management in development and a quick way to upset players who have invested to have these items. Conversely, fans will accept an increase in weapon system power. Example....Increasing Molot damage made them relevant in higher leagues. Some premium weapons just aren't worth the commitment to acquire components. (Arbalest needs more power to be worth acquiring it). Leave Shocktrain the way it is.

Echo... You're right, any Noob can use Shocktrains... But they'll have to pay big $$$ to get them fast. Ever get slaughtered by 3 snipers with Trebuchets? I don't think they're in discussion to Nerf those. Having Shocktrains makes you Target #1 for the Reds. Shocktrains are fine the way they are.

A better solution maybe to combine ALL games with beacons and leave TDM as a separate option. This would encourage lighter/faster bot in beacon modes and leave the heavy hitters for TDM. Yeah, that would do.

War Robots,
I believe "Adding Abililties" to existing robots sounds cool, but it may be a bad thing.
Pilots choose a Griffin because it jumps and is fairly tough.
Other lucky pilots choose Haechi for the energy shield and dash ability.
Adding modules which would give a Griffin an energy shield or dash ability may negate the desire for other robots. Why struggle to get Haechi of you can just add a dash ability to your Griffin. Or worse.... Put a module on your Heachi which gives it the jump or stealth abilities!
This may have been a good idea at the inception of WR, but I feel the game has come along too far and so many people have paid so much for their robots to throw in such a radical change.
Just food for thought.
Keep up the good work!

Shocktrain rebalance.....
A good compromise would be to:
1. Shorten the range from 500 to 450. This would force Shocktrain users to expose themselves longer. Especially with dash bots. Isn't that what the dash ability is designed for? Dash in-dash out?
2. The damage sustained by the Shocktrain's ability to jump to nearby targets should be reduced to 10% of original target. A Bulgasari with 3 Shocktrains (lvl 12) delivers 45k in damage, therefore nearby units would receive 4.5k of damage.

It IS disheartening for a new player to see a Bulgasari with MK2 Shocktrains show up in their game and wipe out an entire team. I suspect some players just leave the game... especially when 2 Bulgasari are camping at spawn locations.
I play at Champion league and have yet to find a suitable counter to a Bulgasari with Shocktrains. It is usually overwhelmed by superior firepower efforts by the entire team. I think another Bulgasari with Tulumbuses or anything with Tridents is the best counter currently available.
My son plays In the Gold league. He has nothing to counter the Shocktrains. He gets frustrated and plays with his Switch instead.
The Shocktrain may have seemed cool on paper but has had some negative effects on gameplay.
Developers will never make everyone happy but the right amount of compromise is always beneficial to those who invested in Shocktrians and to those how are overwhelmed by them.
-Cheers and remember to have fun. It's just a game. :)

Before 3.8 update, it took 7500 worth of keys to get to SUPER CHEST. (ex. 750 Bronze chests, 75 Silver chests, 7.5 Gold chest.... Or ANY combination of them to equal 7500 keys worth.)
In the release notes for 3.8, they said they "TWEAKED" the time it takes to get to SUPER CHEST accordingly. Not sure if that means it now takes less chest worth to reach SUPER CHEST or more. They seem to be pretty GIVING with keys now so it may take more now. Unfortunately, they now have so many different robots and weapons for components, the chances of you getting what you want is VERY slim. the addition of Workshop 2.0, later in the year, will help everyone manufacture the specific components they want.
I'm sure someone will drop cash to buy keys so they can YouTube a massive opening to calculate just how much is needed now.
Good luck too all.

Before 3.8, it took 7500 keys WORTH of chests to get to SUPER CHEST. So, you needed 750 Bronze OR 75 Silver OR 7.5 Gold chests to get to SUPER CHEST. Any combination would work, so as long as it equals 7500 keys worth.
Hope this helps explain it.
Good luck to all.

...............DEVs PLEASE READ.................

I the new Test Server, the Hover now has different flight characteristics.
Now it seem more like an extended JUMP similar to the Raven. The initial STRAIGHT UP jump for height has been removed and NOW the Hover jumps in a guided direction and floats on that path.

The advantage of the initial STRAIGHT HIGH JUMP is the hight the Hover can obtain. This allows it to get on top of high obstacles such as buildings or rock formations.

Before changing the flight characteristics of the Hover, take a poll on FB or the website to see what your Hover Pilots prefer.
Thanks for your consideration.
